Reason #10 I love living in Santa Cruz County? The Santa Cruz County Fair!

It may be my favorite event all year 💫From the fun houses, the rides, the food, the games, exhibitions and animals - it is just FUN.

We stayed for 6 hours and had a B L A S T. The kids were hopped up on cotton candy and adrenaline - and had the best night sleep of their lives 😂

Our daughter also won a fish so we are now the proud owners of possibly the coolest fish tank for a quarter sized 🐠 in town. Can't wait until next year!
